I'm always telling myself that soon, VERY SOON, I'll round up some free time and make a bit of fan art, but the time just never seemed to come. I had whittled my options down to either Lightning or Daria, so when I saw the Final Fantasy contest posted I figured now was probably the best time

It was a lot of fun designing the outfit, though this picture really hammers home the fact that somewhere, deep inside, I have the heart of a seven year old girl.

For whatever reason, dark values and high contrast tend to make things feel very heavy for me, so I kept the value range a little higher than usual in this one so make it feel more airy and light. Get it? Light??? My comedy is truly a natural gift.
